Edinburgh College has created a new Strategic Plan, setting out our strategic aims over the next five years to 2022.

The plan was developed with input from the college Board and Executive, and then put out to consultation with staff, students and stakeholders to make sure it is the best possible roadmap for our development. Following the consultation period, the plan was signed off by the college Board of Management.

The new Strategic Plan sets out our vision for further education as a regional college across Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian. It outlines our approach to delivering an expansive and progressive curriculum to meet the needs of industry and equip students to meet the demands of the modern workplace. The plan has the college’s values at its centre, to define our culture and foster a positive working environment. It also focuses on our status as a key partner in community planning partnerships.

Alongside the plan is its partner document, the Edinburgh College Blueprint: Delivering the Strategic Plan 2017-22. This outlines exactly how the college will deliver on its Strategic Plan, covering the work programmes that will enable it to achieve its aims.
